So... Should You Claim Hail Damage On Your Car?
If you are having thoughts if you should start a hail claim then I would say YES, you should file a claim. After all; that's why we have insurance. Hail is considered an act of god and has little to no impact on your personal insurance record but can affect the rates of an entire county regardless if you file a claim or not so why not? At the very least you should visit a professional shop so that you can see your hail damage under the proper lighting.
Average Cost For Minor to Severe Hail Damage
With Body Shop Involved In Estimate Process
Without Body Shop Involved In Estimate Process
Unfortunately insurance companies are trying to get through tens of thousands of claims, so the prices are going to be much lower if a body shop is not involved in the estimate process. It’s not that the insurance company is trying to cheat you, or that body shops are trying to cheat them; it’s just there is a vast amount of knowledge and time that is required to properly estimate hail damage & the insurance company just doesn’t have the time, equipment, or expertise, so they will rely on us and they will walk the vehicle with us once it comes in for repairs.

Should I wait until hail season is over to file an insurance claim on my car?
At first glance this might sound like a good idea but because of the aforementioned reasons its a terrible idea. Not to mention when you have companies like Eco Auto Body, willing to provide concierge services it’s a no brainer to fix the damage as it comes. Your insurance policy will cover hail damage under comprehensive coverage, and will give you 3 of these types of claims without affecting your personal insurance record.
